Since after his death there is no one that comes for the funds.However, all my efforts traces abortive, that is the main reason I am writing you this to ask for your co-operation for us to claim this money because it will amount to injustice if I do not take this decisive step to secure this deposit and invest it for the less privilages to benefit, because if nobody comes forward to claim the fund it will be forfeited to the government and they will use the funds to suppress the poor masses in our society,based on that, I am contacting you to assist me in making this transaction a reality.
